Outside My Window

Once there lived a little girl with her mother at a small and tiny rented house at the far end of the country side. the little girl was so lonely for she had no friends nor siblings to play with, but all she had was her wide imagination. As she used to feed her mind with fictional stories about different kinds of creatures and realms. One day that little girl was reading a fictional story as usual, when her eyes caught a mysterious little creature glancing at her from outside her room window. She felt terrified at first, but she had the urge to get closer to the window to find out what it was. But little did she know that it was a real talking elf, and little did she know that it is going to be her best friend for the next 5 years. Over the course of the 5 years their friendship was growing stronger and stronger , as she finally found someone her own age to chat with. However her mother was worried about her daughter for she became more and more isolated. The whole time the mother was blaming herself for not being home with her daughter , as she had to work in a quite distant farm in order to afford food and shelter for the two of them.

One day the mother approached her daughter and asked her,’’ What is going on with you darling? and why are you talking to yourself the entire time?.’’ But the little girl kept on denying anything related to her unexplainable behaviors. And after many attempts to make her daughter open up to her, the little girl finally told her mother about her only friend the elf. Even though It was quite a harsh truth to absorb, the mother pulled herself together and tried to convince her daughter that there is no such creature as an elf, and of course it was no use. For that reason the mother tried to play a trick on her daughter to make her realize that she is just being delusional, so she suggested that they make a home-made shoe for her little friend the elf,’’ Because elves are known to adore home made stuff.’’ She told her daughter. The little girl nodded her head from excitement, and went to the basement to grab some materials to make the shoes for the elf. And after spending hours on that little shoe, the final product was ready. So they went to the window in which the daughter has first met her little friend, and they placed the shoe on there.

And they have waited and waited for the elf to come. And after 3 days of waiting for him to come, the little girl realized that her little friend was never to be seen again.

The very next morning went with her daughter to the market in order to sell the shoes that they have made together. And on their way to the market the little girl saw a bunch of little children playing thug-of-war next to a small puddle.The little girl was very excited, yet very shy to join them. The mother realized that and patted her daughter on the head and said to her daughter ironically ‘’It is time to make friends from your own kind and realm.’’ The little girl smiled softly and jogged toward her peers.
